    Shell curve with the S missing ??!!... anyway I think are railway lines and horse racing tracks too close either side to make that possible. Plus Frosty I think you have your directional arrows running the conventionall way...

    Nope mate at that spot there was a few years back a chicane put about right there. (I could be out 100m either way) so its possible to use it. For that matter the exit curve could be exaggerated so you need to come back over to the left then back right which would shorten the straight even more -increasing the corners and decreasing terminal velocity at "castrol" . Castrol would need to be moved so its outside edge was the existing inside edge and a sandtrap put there-Mind you what would be really cool would be to "higginsify" it --Make castrol banked like higgins is.

    Use Hampton D as a sign of customer base, if they agreed to modify it and make it safer!

    HD is way over the Top in pricing, you and I both know that, and the novelty of track day riders from up NTH will run out soon.

    Puke needs to make the safety changes, and they will be Quids in

    I agree re the one track day company focusing on there, if changes are made, and this revinue alone will more than cover the safety changes costings, and give them more profit/turn over in a 12 month period

    Puke reverse would be mint. You could move turn one into that big run off zone also, so you would slow the front straight and not have to move the stand for run off. The Hill would be even faster and more dangerous though.

    I figure with the hill it could have actual sandtraps at last

    Extend the wall up to the boundry fence, and then use that area for run off? As there is still only around 5 meters of grass before the wall, and you would be moving quicker, a sandtrap that size wouldn't slow you much.

    Are you sure there is room to put them in?

    Who owns the land off the end of the back of the straight, will it be obtainable to put in runoff in at Castrol

    Ditch Hell curve, the only good thing at Puke is the long haul down the back
